There is a need for help in the maintenance of the moumn.org web site.
The pages are written in
HTML, CSS, PDF, JavaScript, and PERL.
Some of the help needed is just the periodic update of the pages. Some
requires some knowledge of the programming languages.
Please let me know if you have some interest in joining the team.

*Job Description:*The Chairman is responsible for providing and
maintaining the MOU web page and the MOU-net mailing list.
*Scope of Duties:*Design the MOU web pages, provide for the collection
of Seasonal Report records, analyze submitted data, and update the web
with information from each issue of The Loon.
Each season additional sighting records are provided by eBird. This
information is added to the MOU sighting database when it becomes available.
Interface with the Avian Information Committee to update "occurrence
information" for each species for each season. Detailed dates are
recorded for any species that has occurred in a county in a season fewer
than 5-times.
Maintain an electronic copy of The Loon. This requires a PDF file
provided by the editor of The Loon, which is then separated into
individual pages for display.
Maintain a species index to The Loon. A process is available to add
species to the "On-line Index to The Loon" for MOURC species. Other
species need to be added by hand for each issue.
Provide a tool for seasonal report compilers to access the information
for a season and edit the seasonal report that goes into The Loon. An
attempt has been made to provide a version of the seasonal report that
is ready for publication before the compilers start their effort.
Develop and maintain a process for reporting all the information that
goes into the Listing Supplement, a compilation of how many species are
seen by each observer in each county, month, or year as well as big day
totals.
Provide a Gallery of images of birds seen in Minnesota as well as birds
seen around the world. Photographers are able to add their images to the
gallery of images. Photographers are also able to share current images
on the Showcase and Recently Seen galleries.
Maintain the membership database. This database provides the ability for
the Membership Chairman to update membership information and produce
mailing labels for the MOU publications.
RQD, Request for Documentation, are input on the MOU site. Information
about the outcome of MOURC voting is included in the display of an RQD.
On the MOURC pages, previous copies of the proceedings of MOURC are
available. The MOURC pages capabilities have recently been extended to
allow on-line voting on birding records.
*Requirements:*The pages on the MOU site are written in HTML, CSS, PDF,
JavaScript, and PERL. They make heavy use of the MySQL database. An ECC
chairman needs to be familiar with these languages.
